Neuroscience Student Activities

Welcome to the Neuroscience student activities page. You will see a number of pictures of our students at defense receptions, student luncheons, recruitment weekend and career's day. We welcome you to ask our Graduate Students anything you want to know about our Program, life as a graduate student, living in Cincinnati or any other question you might have. Please feel free to contact one of our ambassador graduate students below.

Student Luncheons

Our student luncheons are designed to update our students on progress within the Program and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. This meeting allows for student interaction as well as questions to our Director, Jim Herman, Ph.D. and the Director of Graduate Studies, Gary Gudelsky, Ph.D.

Student and Faculty Retreat

Faculty members participate in a "data blitz" describing the changes in Neuroscience since their involvement. The retreat will includes both students and faculty, and normally includes an overnight stay.

Career Symposium

A Career Symposium is held each year for our students and postdoctoral fellows that consists of speakers from the following fields: Academic Track, Industry Track, 4-year College Track, Biotech Track and the Post-Doctoral Experience. Students have the opportunity to meet with the speakers. This allows for questions from the students and personal interaction from the Ph.D.'s. The day normally concludes with a social hour.

Recruitment Weekend

Every year in February, the Admissions Committee invites qualified applicants to join us for our recruitment weekend. The applicants arrive on Thursday night and our graduate students pick them up at the airport and everyone meets for dinner. The candidates have faculty interviews all day on Friday and then join our students and faculty for a reception in the evening. On Saturday morning, the candidates view a data blitz by our faculty and a poster session presented by our students. Saturday afternoon consists of lab demos and lab meetings. Saturday evening is a planned social event just between the candidates and the graduate students. The candidates have the opportunity to ask questions about the program and the graduate students have the opportunity to socialize with their potential fellow classmates.
